Hot Chip's 'Night and Day' Wins Today's Tiara: VIDEO
Hot Chip's new video for "Night and Day", directed by Peter Serafinowicz, features muscleboys dancing around a tutu-ed egg with a tiara, a line-up of choreographed monks, and guest appearances from Terence Stamp and Reggie Watts.
Need I say more?

They could have just left the camera on Terrance Stamp's face for the entire video and I would be perfectly satisfied.

that's an engaging short film produced with style, wit and quality. someone should write a soundtrack for it.

I would have been more impressed if I had not seen a video of Rafaella Carra singing "Night and Day" in 1978 just yesterday:

Coincidence, Inspiration or Homage?

How experimental circa 1930s. Yes Stamp is cool.

I can't believe you people really liked that! It seemed like a really bad acip trip to me. Stupid, silly and lame.

Strange that, as pics of hot guys often seem to include some disturbing looking drag queen. That top pic is nightmare worthy.

That was awful. No closeups on their pulsating muscles, drenched with sweat as they thrust their equator regions at me. FAIL. And the music was hideous. Terrible.

Heheh, Runiel, I just saw that Rafella Carra video earlier today, and linked it to my facebook just moments before coming here and seeing This. Hahaha.

Jeez, bitter much on a couple comments?

I love hot chip. This video is fairly straightforward. At least, it is in comparison to their video for "I Feel Better."

For my 12 year old niece maybe (she loves funny dub-step chicken videos too). But if you're over 15, it hits you like a whole lot of 'meh'.

I love Hot Chip. Song's all right, too. Am I not smart if I didn't LOVE the video?
